Stormwater management is the mechanism for controlling stormwater runoff for the purposes of minimizing the catchment flow rates, runoff volumes, frequency of flooding and degradation of surface water quality through implementation of construction erosion and sediment control, quantity control and treatment best management practices to diminish the effects of landuse changes. The project was implemented by Drainage and Irrigation Department Sarawak with collaboration from UNIMAS to study the effectiveness of sustainable stormwater management system in the Sarawak’s catchment. The scope works including the following:
- Convert the existing R.C drain to swale drain
- Convert the existing tar-sealed pavement to porous pavement
- Convert the existing rigid roofed car park & motorcycle car park to vegetated roofed car parks
